    Lots of baked goods and had to give their breakfast burrito a try (something a out soft things inside, crispy grilled outside calls to me!)! The breakfast burrito isnt my favourite - missing that tart and sweet factor so all you get is soft, crispy, somewhat saltiness from the bacon and a hint of sweet from the tomatoes ---- and a WHOLE lot of grease, but not much else. Maybe I'll stick to their baked goods going forward. Aside from foods, the space is big and reminds me of Perk Cafe from Friends. Friendly quick staffs.

    Flat white and cookie

    We got their chocolate chip cookie and also flat white. The chocolate chip cookie was nice and soft, and the flat white was decent. For the price, I was expecting a bit more richer flat white, but it wasn't terrible. The interior has plenty of seating and it's located in a pretty busy part of town. Would definitely recommend for people to pay them a visit.

    Store front is under construction at the moment. Chocolate chip, chocolate chip walnut, oatmeal raisin and salted caramel cookies and an oat milk latte. C$34.84 The cookies look a tad burnt on a few cookies. They smell amazing. Seating for cookie, sandwich, salad and coffee enjoyment. The smell inside is worth a visit. The oatmeal cookie was dry, so was the chocolate walnut, which I believe is one of the factories here. Perhaps it was a two off, as I was wishing I had only bought one of these. The chocolate cookie is the better of all of the cookies, just a tad over baked is all. The salted caramel is not special. Suffice to say, the chocolate cookie is worth a try, but take a pass on the rest of them, wasn't worth it for us.

    Le Gourmaud in Toronto is a great cafe, and seems like a popular spot for Torontonians. We only spent 24 hours in Toronto, and this is one of the great stops that we made. I love Canadian pastries, because they are not as sweet as the ones in the US, and I'm not really a person who is big on sweets and desserts. My family and I stumbled upon this gem after eating at a spot on Queen Street, Walking by, we saw the sign outside saying "world-famous cookies," wnd decided to go in to try some of them. We ordered oatmeal raisin, white chocolate macadamia, and chocolate chip cookies, as well as an orange muffin. At first, I was not really excited about ordering anything, but since we were only visiting Canada for a couple of hours, I gave in, and I'm so glad I did! The chocolate chip cookie was delicious, it had crispy edges with a gooey center that wasn't overly soft. My parents loved the oatmeal raisin cookies, and my uncle and aunt, who initially passed on ordering, couldn't resist running back to get their own pastries once he tasted the muffin. In fact, he and my aunt stocked up on cookies and muffins before we left for New York. Le Gourmaud is a quiet and nice cafe with incredible pastries. I did not have the chance to try their sandwiches this time, but it's definitely on my list for my next visit to Toronto. If you're in the area and looking for top-tier baked goods in a welcoming atmosphere, this place is a must!

    I hate giving low reviews but this place is so awful. We also visited twice (not by my choice), so unfortunately, I know it is not a fluke. First, you have to traverse through a bunch of construction to find it (not their fault but does not help with the overall experience). All the tables were dirty from previous patrons, and we didn't see anyone wiping them down the two times we were there. You bus your own tables and the bussing station is in a similarly sorry state. They're also not that busy so not sure why the service is so awful. The blonde cashier that we encountered twice was just chatting with the other staff rather than taking our order. When she finally paid attention to us, she was unnecessarily cold like we were bothering her. Again, this happened twice. The first time we went, we only ordered a cookie and a cappuccino. The coffee was mid and the cookie took so long the another staff member noticed and apologized, which was nice of her. The second time we went, the sandwiches behind the glass looked sad, so I got the kathu roti, which was drowning in sauce and became very unpleasant to eat midway through. My partner got the egg bacon croissant - the eggs were rubber, croissant was also mid, and the whole thing was too salty. They also called the wrong order number (we were the only ones waiting for food). The only good thing about this place is the cookies (which bumped this up to two stars) but not worth the troubles.

    I come here occasionally for coffee or for their famous walnut chocolate chip cookies. The cookies definitely are delicious and high quality, but I wouldn't say they're the best in the city. They actually taste better the next day in my opinion. Service here is always friendly and fast even on the weekends when it can get busy. There's a good amount of seating for small groups inside as well as a few tables outside. The building is undergoing renovation, but it's still open

    Kothu Roti

    To sum things up, the food here was great, but my experience dining in left a lot to be desired. The way the restaurant is run is a bit disorganized, which is particularly noticeable when it is busy. We waited for around 20 minutes to get our food, and were not able to hear our order being called when it was ready. There was also limited seating available, especially since this is both a cafe and brunch spot. I tried the Kothu Roti and Creme Brulee French Toast, both of which were delicious. I also tried their much hyped chocolate chip cookie, which was amazing. Since it is worth trying, I'd highly recommend just getting their food to go.

    One of the best oven fresh chocolate chip cookies in Toronto!

    I am so happy that Le Gourmand on Spadina Ave. is still here after all these years! It used to be my second office for over 10 years where I did sketches for my illustration business and had many meetings here since it opened in 2002. I loved getting their delicious Balzac's Farmers Blend with just a little honey early in the mornings and loved all their freshly baked treats! Today I enjoyed their famous giant chocolate chip cookie still hot from the oven and so crispy and chewy at same time. But it wasn't as giant as I remembered so I hope it was an off day for the baker. Also had their chocolate bomb that unfortunately didn't come warmed up as they usually are so it wasn't great. But the European atmosphere and warm ambiance hasn't changed one bit. It always feels like I've stepped into Paris when I walked in. My visit brought back many happy memories. I do miss the founder of Le Gourmand Milton Nunes who was always so friendly to me and everyone who came in the café. He sadly passed away in March 2019 at age of 47. Rest In Peace Milton, please know that your delicious legacy is alive and well!

    Love, love this spot. Their coffee is great and your cannot beat their baked goods. Located just south of Queen on Spadina, it's just off the streetcar spot. It's a local fave. Easily noted by the stream of customers - many just taking out. Beyond the coffee and baked goods. You can also enjoy some other options like breakfast sandwiches or eggs Benedict in the morning and a variety of luncheon items (soups, salads, sandwiches and light lunch fare). I've been going here for a while, and I've never had a bad meal or snack here. Fyi their chocolate chip cookies are the best! Today we had coffee, croissants and a lemon bichon. All great. And I couldn't resist. Some pastries were brought home. Don't look any further for a great French bakery.

    Apple pastry
    Clara C.

    A small coffee shop near chinatown, with a fair amount of seating and seems to be a place where people go to work as well. I got the white chocolate matcha which was part of their spring menu - 4.5/5 loved it! I also got the apple tart which I would rate 3/5 - tasted ok but wish it was warmed up which would've made it taste better since it was kind of hard cold but I didn't realize until I had left. They had a few other items on their spring menu that I think is limited time, would come back again if I'm passing by

    This place is awesome. I was staying nearby and after my flight home got delayed, I wanted to squeeze in some work and breakfast before hitting the road. I found this spot on Yelp and arrived around 8:30-9am. It was right off Spadina and was easy to spot... next door to a Starbucks. Why would anyone choose the big box coffee shop over the little guy? I will never understand. The space is big with a giant area filled with seats and tables for dining and cranking out some work. There is a long L shaped counter with pastries behind it as well as the register/pick up area, and a small kitchen. There was a bit of a line when I got there but it moves pretty fast. I ordered an egg and cheese croissant and their turmeric latte. The service was fast af. I went to set up my laptop and hadn't even noticed them call my name because it was so quick. My sandwich was great and I ate every single bite. My latte was not very sweet at all and the turmeric was very forward. I also drank that down to the very last drop. I wouldn't hesitate to come here again!

    Hands down the best chocolate chip cookie I ever had, what I like about this place is it's not too sweet, service was quick, the cookie was warm it melts in your mouth, and the coffee was really good, perfect combinations ,

    Cold hot chocolate.
    Signe L.

    I was excited to try the gluten-free almond cake, so we ordered that along with salted caramel hot chocolate with coconut milk and whipped cream. The hot chocolate arrived cold, and there was no whipped cream and the cup was not full for a size large. It was so thin. It didn't seem like coconut milk was used to either. No matter, I couldn't drink it anyway it was a cheap fake flavor that was way too sweet. The cake tasted like someone mixed simple syrup with ground almonds which made it moist but again overly sweet so that I couldn't even get the full-on almond taste and ended up eating a lot of sugar I didn't expect. So disappointing.

Pierina guided us via phone and even came outside of the restaurant and waved as we approached. That was awesome Customer service as well as kindness. Ambiance was chill inside. Especially liked the artwork and table with their name on it. I had the Nutella latte, Nutella and strawberry waffle, and a side of sausage. Didn't like the sausage at all (tasted a bit gamey) but that's probably because ein the states there are nitrates, etc that make it taste better. No biggie! She switched it out for bacon, and that was fine and appreciated. My sister had the breakfast tacos that looked delicious and she really enjoyed. All in all this was a great pick and I would return when im Canada ever again and I'm in the area. Keep up the great work, Pierina. Her welcoming attitude attentiveness and knowledge of the menu was stellar and warrants recognition. Thank you!!!

Once I got back to my hotel, I settled in to enjoy and get some work done. My latte was smooth and creamy and just what I needed to get my day started. My raspberry croissant was beautiful and packed full of flavor. The filling wasn't too sweet and there was just the right amount inside. I saved my cookie for a snack while I traveled home later that day. I love how it had chunks of sugared ginger on top.
